Filter design

Easy selection of the filter size is made possible by the FilterSelect online tool. The filter can be designed using the
operating pressure, flow and fluid system parameters. The required filter rating is based on the application,
the sensitivity to contamination of the components and the environmental conditions.

The program leads you through the menu on a step-by-step basis.

A documentation of the filter selection can finally be created in the form of a PDF file. This file contains the entered
parameters, the designed filter with material number including spare parts, and the pressure loss curves.

6/10 Filter elements | Type 2., according to DIN 24550 and Rexroth standard

Product description

The filter element is the main building block of industrial

filters. It is in the filter element where the actual filtration
takes place.
According to the large range of different housing designs
and sizes, there is also a large number of different sizes
and designs of inserted filter elements.
The main filter variables, such as retention capacity, dirt
holding capacity and pressure loss are determined by the
filter elements construction and the filter media used.
Further information on the characteristic values and filter
media is available in RE 51548.
Rexroth filter elements are used for filtration of hydraulic
fluids, lubricants or filtration of industrial fluids and gases,
depending on the series.

The filtration is usually realized from the outside to the

inside. The fluid or gas must flow from the dirt side
through the filter element into the clean side.
However, in some applications the filtration is also realized
from the inside to the outside of the filter element.

In general, Rexroth filter elements consist of a combination

of star-like, pleated filter media (3) called filter element
mat. The filter element mat is laid around a perforated
support tube (2) which gives the set-up the required
stability to withstand high pressure differentials.

The filter element mat laid around the support tube

is glued to the joint and the two end disks (1) and
therefore sealed between the dirt and the clean side.
Sealing between the filter element and the filter housing
is effectively done by means of seals on the spigot.

The protective cage (4), which is only used for special

filter element series, allows for a uniform flow pattern
around the filter element mat and, at the same time,
provides mechanical protection against external damage.

Moreover, some series can optionally be equipped with

a bypass valve which passes the flow by the filter element
in case of an increased pressure and therefore prevents
a critical pressure build-up.
